{"product_id":"2940148889427","title":"Hope in Hard Times: New Deal Photographs of Montana, 1936\u0026#x2013;1942","description":"Arthur Rothstein, Russell Lee, John Vachon, and Marion Post Wolcott became some of the United States’ best-known photographers through their pictures of Depression-era America. Taken between 1936 and 1942, their ­pic­tures of Montana captured the dignity of its people as they struggled to scratch out livings from ­dried-up fields, nurture families in the shadows of Butte head frames, and foster ­communities on the vast expanses of the northern plains. Hope in Hard Times, which features over 140 Farm Security Administration photographs, depicts the many-faceted story of the Great Depression in Montana and the experiences of the ­photographers who documented it. Today these striking images, from cities like Butte to small towns like Terry, present an unforgettable portrait of a little-­studied period in the history of Montana.","brand":"Montana Historical Society Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084372852976,"sku":"2940148889427","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148889427_p0.jpg?v=1763709103","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148889427","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
